- Developer: Namco

SoulCalibur is a 3D fighting game developed by Namco, released in arcades in 1998 and for the Dreamcast in 1999. Set in the 16th century, it follows fighters from around the world searching for the cursed sword Soul Edge, and each character fights with their own weapon. Its eight-way run let fighters move freely around the arena.

The Dreamcast version was rebuilt with much more detailed graphics than the arcade game and added the Mission Battle mode, an art gallery and an exhibition theatre. It was one of the most acclaimed games of its time and is still one of the best-regarded games on the console.
